Xmoor

I'm not sure why this doesn't have a higher rating on IMDb. I just saw this, and it was fun. It had a natural flow, and I liked the main character a lot. There was a twist at the end that was very unexpected. However, what happens to the bad guy was kinda silly, but it didn't negate the rest of the movie.

Melia Kreiling was very believable, and she seemed believable scared throughout her time in the forest. I think we'll see more films with her in the future.

I recommend this film. It's a solid, original thriller, and I'll watch it again. I gave this a 7-star rating.

But not really something that is phenomenal. Horror movies live and die with their characters (most times literally than metaphorically) and in this case, the characters are mostly nicely drawn. You might even care for them (or at least some of them) not to die. Unfortunately a few things come in the way (and I'm not talking about Death/Killer situations alone).

The things that might annoy you, are the decisions made. Bad decisions as they mostly only happen in horror movies, to move on and make the movie "interesting" or let things happen that could be easily avoided. Having said that though, I have seen far worse, so if you don't hang up too much on those things and don't mind the slow pace in the beginning, there is a couple of things to enjoy here

Starring Nick "Agents Of Shield" Blood we have three people going into the woods to find evidence of a big cat roaming freely.

Irish made and with a one million budget you'd think this would deliver but instead is an excessively dark poorly constructed embarrassment.

The one thing I'll say for it is that it wasn't predictable, to such an extent in fact that it's not what it's advertised to be and the front cover is yet another lie.

Utterley unlikeable I don't see where the budget went and can only assume they had great catering.

The Good:

Unpredictable

The Bad:

Lifeless

Things I Learnt From This Movie:

1/4 movie covers are lies these days

Two Americans go to Exmoor, England to investigate the rumors about wild cats roaming the moors. They hook up with a guy who is a hunter and set out to find one of the beasts. What they actually find is much more disturbing.

It's a pretty good premise for a horror but doesn't quite live up to its promises. The plot twists and turns unnecessarily, leaving the viewer yearning for something more punchy and less contrived. It's very much a case of the more they added, the less they got.

Melia Kreiling is probably about the best thing in the movie. She's solid in the lead role and I have a feeling we'll be seeing much more from her in the future. It is competently shot, looks and sounds good but it's the messy plot and somewhat thin characterization that prevents any real tension from building.

It does have a few moments that are effective but they are scarce and not particularly scary. I didn't hate this film but I doubt I'd give it a second viewing in a hurry.

This is terrible. What kind of film runs and doesn't have enough light for you to see what is going on. That is why it only got 2/10 stars. I stopped watching it when it continued to be a dark screen. Bummer.
